Uranus is making its transit into Pisces after roosting in its own house, Aquarius, for 12 years (ironically, or maybe not, stirring up a lot of shit for us Aquarians). Nature likes novelty and differentiation, not entropy, inbreeding and stagnation. Perhaps it tries to counterbalance a potentially hyper-mimetic state with reactive chaos/novelty? Am I stretching it?

sorry, no idea whom you are talking about.

My relationship with my then-boyfriend took a decided turn for the much, much worse last Monday. And talking to anyone about it felt like wading through sludge.
My committee was sooo late for the co op meeting today. It wasn't just us Lusties, but a lot of different cooperatives (NOBAWC) brainstorming over goat cheese pizza and cornbread scones (but not about goat cheese pizza and cornbread scones). Now they're thinking about keeping the Lusty theater open for the video booths, but getting rid of the live show, at which point we may...

Hi Thora,
I love Waterhouse because he can create an 'atmosphere' in his paintings. They are sort of...blurry, but not. I love his choices of subject, often fae or mythical. I have always been fascinated by the untouchable and dangerous forms of seduction and sensuality, like Succubi and the consequences of sexual conference with a woman of fae origin. The Naiad is an awesome example. I love his 'ideal' of beautiful woman and wonder at who modeled for him.
I agree with the attention the pre-raphaelites paid to accuracy and realism. I'm actually not that much of an appreciator of abstract or modern art.
Pointilism is cool. I was not that artistic as a child. I was often scolded instead because I was obsessed with war as a child and loved to draw stick men battling each other and getting blown up. I never felt any automatic desire to draw my family in front of a house with a smiley sun.
I have been to the Louvre. Took me 2 days to see every room. And only because I ignored all the Christian-inspired art which bores me to bits. I didn't go to the D'Orsay but went to Rodin's instead. I love the female form and his statues of the female form are amazing. If I ever get to own a home of my own design, I'd like to put plenty of beautiful female sculpture in it. I personally feel closer to a fertile, nurturing Goddess than I do to a wrathful Desert & Mountain God.
Personally, I have a Swedish father and a Singaporean mother. I'm a real Eurasian
I grew up in Singapore mainly and my mother tongue is English. Since I started reading advanced books so young I was and am ahead of my peers. I moved to Sweden July 7th, 2001. I was looking for a life....still haven't found one I think is cool. 
I am impressed and envious that you speak such good French. it's a beautiful language and sounds really good to rap in. My Swedish is 2 years old and impresses people with how good it is, but it's hit a glass ceiling and I don't work on it. I'm applying to Universities in the UK now and I hope to be there before this year is out.
Incidentally, I am a Swedish citizen and hold a Swedish passport.

We had another meeting today; some of the committees have already done a glorious shitload of research. We had a show of hands to see what the tendency is, whether we want to go on unemployment, buy, or rent while we're getting this co op together. I'Il leave you in suspense.
We also voted on a name, knowing that while we can be subtly witty,...

Went to the meeting to discuss turning the ol' Lusty into a co op this (now last) afternoon. Carol Queen and the Good Vibes folks were there, as well as the Rainbow Grocery co op and our union rep. I committed to the media and fundraising committees, meself. It looks feasible with a lot of elbow (and other) grease and many hours. We're all willing...

OMG!!! You met RAW!!!
Jealous...sooo....jealous...
SF is so far away and my pocket so empty. hmmm...and if I went, I'd have to pass by Seattle or my friends would never forgive me.
So what's he like? I don't have any expectations because for someone like him you just can't.
Hmmm...earliest is next year I could make it. Maybe. If I ever made it to the next Pantheacon, would you be my guide? Not just the convention but SF as well?

well whatever...I can always check his website. It posts all his dates. But in reality, all I need worry about till next year, is that he gets to stay with us and be rascal for a lot longer... ....... 
....... My coworkers and I are planning a meeting to take over the Lusty as a co-op. We have our union rep coming, someone from the Rainbow Grocery co-op who can teach us a thing or 2, Carol Queen and Goddess knows who else. It is definitely closing on May 9th, no exceptions, nothing anyone can do. It's the Shiva days and the next phase may...

Good luck!
I've been following the Lusty story for a while - we need more unions in the industry. I hope you can get it to work out.

I think I posted this at the time, but your photo set is amazing!
But, also, your taste in music destroys me!
Antony and the Johnsons?
Ronan Quays?
Elijah's Mantle?
I'm so glad you're here. Tonight, I've been spinning Sixth Comm and The Moon Lays Hidden Beneath A Cloud and I was reminded to say hey to Thora.
So, hey!

I work at the only unionized exotic dance club in the country and on May 9th it's closing its doors. I found out when I went in to work tonight, but some of the customers had already seen the newspaper article. Actually, the club has been getting worldwide press since our pickets in December. For many of us it will represent a great loss. A...

that is unfortunate that they are going to close it down. can i come visit you before they do? hehe. i wanna see you dance 
what are you going to do after it closes?
as for the silver in my hair..it was semi-accidental..i dyed the back black & bleached the front at the same time..and some of the black faded into the blonde in the front and made it silver-ish. probably not a bright true silver, but still pretty cool looking..

I'm really sorry to hear about your club. Strange, I thought the most likely location in the US for a dancers union would be in Las Vegas *shrug*
Which book has Michio Kaku talking about suddenly being able to perceive a higher dimension?
Reminds me of Terence McKenna's hypothesis in Food of the Gods that it was primitive ape-man tripping on mushrooms taken of wildebeest and buffalo dung than sort of kick-started development of human levels of consciousness.

Cats were fighting on my head again. The new slope of scratches like staples follow the vulcan line of my eyebrow. My new back piece is a beautiful assemblage of thousands upon thousands more cat scratches but with purpose.

I found my tattoo on someone's window ~ a stained glass art nouveau geisha with a peacock feather at the bottom of her robe. I photographed her, mirrored her, and had her outlined on my back. In April she'll get colored in.
